the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those great. thinks . we dare to ask. how come translates this suv worked shoulder to shoulder with western forces in afghanistan fear for the lives as the blunt exit of u.s. and nato troops in the water own country leaves them vulnerable to taliban richard boucher we hear from a former interpreter for the british are. they are not aware of their future they're living in trauma and fear every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow

or next day to them so the situation is very risky for and with us in afghanistan. back at washington imposing to the touch sanctions on a number of u.s. individuals including key players in joe biden. french prosecutors over the case after the photos of numerous police officers were plastered on bulls in the paris suburbs stop in france adopted a controversial security law which balanced images. in the strictest deeds to report these are blatant threats intended to intimidate police officers rule trouble concern your fists identify the families worried and we're concerned for their families. other very good morning and. thanks for joining us here on r.t.

or afghan interpreters who put their lives on the line and helped western forces in afghanistan fear that they might be abandoned and left to the mercy of taliban terrorists and this is as u.s. and nato troops prepare to exit the country by mid september the former afghan translator who worked for the british army told us why their concerns are real there isn't an awful recognition by the government so far and the process soft been often terp there's all are not very much at the top priority of the ministry of defense i think minister of defense under u.k. government as a whole are forgetting that interpreters were key assets off the the 18 year long combat military mission in afghanistan and leaving them behind and forgetting them is this putting them at risk. well over the years the u.k. is that hundreds of interpreters who work for the british army settle there the

critics say many who ought to be eligible for the scheme are being denied that chance meanwhile u.s. president joe biden the now it's the withdrawal of american and nato troops just a couple of days ago the reason the translators you help them are so scared is that the taliban which is resurgent in the country has branded their national traitors and considers them legitimate targets as they're i mean again says that interpreters have been left traumatized. i am regularly in touch with afghan interpreters who are searched for the british army and there are still a psych in afghanistan and they are not aware of their future they are living in trauma and fare every day not knowing what could happen tomorrow or next they didn't so the situation is very risky for and with us in afghanistan unless the british government acts quickly and introduces an inclusive scheme that allows all interpreters to relocate to the u.k.

the situation will not be resolved are part of the international. missions object of in afghanistan was to secure europe and american borders from the threat of terrorism so afghans who joined the international forces and worked as interpreters alongside these forces they are actually the core to the ends of the safety and security of europe and america leaving them behind is not our way of more ality and unhuman. or says foreign ministries published a sanctions list the target senior bided of ministration officials it's a direct response to new her american restrictions imposed earlier on moscow over alleged harmful activities russia's measures also include the expulsion of 10 u.s. diplomats and the possible reduction of washington's diplomatic mission in the capital mr department called the response escalatory and regrettable earliest muscatel adjoin my colleague neil to assess russia's response 1st though here's

what the country's foreign minister had to say. the latest attack country by dubai didn't ministration cannot. it seems that washington does not want to accept the fact that in the new geo political realities there is no place for unilateral dictatorship and the broken scenarios of containing moscow which the us short sightedly continues to deploy when you risk further degrading russia u.s. relations we knew that this was coming in one form or another it was just a matter of time and on friday russia very demonstrative retaliated against those punitive measures that washington announced against moscow earlier this week perhaps the most interesting part is that 8 top level washington officials have been banned from entering russian territory and when i say top level i mean highlight reel you know we're talking the head of the f.b.i. the director of national intelligence the secretary of homeland security to i

people who are powerful decision makers in washington also a lot less to susan rice and john bolton historically to politicians who are you know in his. russian rhetoric alongside the names moscow explained that these individuals have been chosen precisely because they all responsibility for promoting americans and to russian policy direction i have to say this is a really strong move because usually such bans are done on the low down in the quiet that are not announced publicly so clearly the kremlin here is so frustrated by what's going on that it wants to make a really bold korea statement of not 10 american diplomats have been expelled a number of american organizations suspected of interfering in russia's internal affairs have been told that they need to stop their activity and it was also made clear that if the u.s. continues to behave this way the more can and will be done including reducing the diplomatic mission here to just $300.00 and taking action that would be harmful to

u.s. business interests so very loud to various. announcement leaving the door open for an improvement of relations but at the same time being practical and preparing for the worst and as you see it it comes not long after what. they were going to do as regards sanctions what was said on thursday well you have to look at the fact up to this hostile undiplomatic rhetoric coming from the white house of course now the infamous interview joe biden calling president putin the killer on international television and then this final blow out by joe biden signing what can only be called a sanction spree so that package includes of russian entities and individuals sanction for allegedly interference in last year's presidential election stateside a range of financial and technology firms targeted for apparent cyber attacks on federal agencies 10 russian diplomats expelled borrowing money international made

more difficult for russia to and why anyone reasonable would look at this and say well this is pretty extensive apparently joe biden claims that this was his take it easy on russia set of sanctions and that ultimately all he really wants is to be friendly and the pressure dial down united states is not looking to kick off the. school is she in conflict with russia we want a stable predictable relationship is the time to deescalate well saying after announcing a slew of sanctions is mixed messages it's illogical it's very confusing i mean generally punishment and deescalation don't go hand in hand so you can see why the russian side pointed out that the moment there's a huge disconnect between what russia says rather what washington says and what washington does cools from overseas to refrain from escalation sound hypocritical in essence to trying to talk to us from a position of strength we have repeatedly warned and proved in practice that

sanctions and other pressures are not only futile but will also result in disastrous consequences for those. to decide and such provocations so clearly normalized relations between the u.s. and russia are going to require a serious shift in care but at the moment it does definitely sound that whilst moscow of course doesn't want it to terrorists and relations and it's tried everything it can to avoid that at the moment it feels that that might be the only option left it's not unusual for politicians to say one thing and do another. i think that he's playing to his political base by imposing sanctions on russia i think if you wanted to impose sanctions he certainly could have imposed more certain significant ones that would have it would have penalized sectors of russia it's his allegations about russia hacking the united states return to the democrats are trying to use you know this they're anti russian positions for political benefit i don't really think it's going to benefit them very much i think it would

be helpful to have a real dialogue between president biden and president putin unfortunately because of the democrats that their attacks on russia during the trumpet ministration of the russian hoax there was never really a meaningful summit between president trump and president putin i think we should get over that and there should be a meeting between president biden president putin and you know states russia should try to resolve their differences and find ways to cooperate. french prosecutors have a case after the photographs of 20 police officers were plus that almost in the paris suburbs to fiz the policeman's families they'd be identified even threatened to kill from a french police union says that the stumps was months the threat. initial accused will report that these are blatant threats intended to intimidate police officers were all troubled and concerned for the officers identified their families are worried and we're concerned for their families you may think it's the 1st time but

it's not the 1st time this is happening to me we've also seen officers being named in other areas it's scary enough that we no longer have boundaries and there are people who name officers families without hesitation and it seems to me that matthew like behavior and intimidation is encroaching into our private lives because we're the police. and the incident comes as french lawmakers pass a controversial global security bill penalizing the spread of images of police officers in operation those found guilty could face a sentence of up to 5 years behind bars and a 75000 euro fine the bill itself has been slammed by civil rights groups and n.g.o.s the french public's been angrily protesting against the for months. was.

however france's police organizations a system of law is needed to protect police officers and their families. thank you . we try to protect ourselves but it's true there are limits the police have to protect the general population but who defends the police article 24 some things are progressing well but it's not enough we are now waiting for the restrictions to be introduced as soon as possible the alliance police union demanding that the faces of police officers blurred it's not to hide what happens during the arrest because the police watchdog receives the footage everyone is worried about the police making a mistake we want the police to have their faces blurred to protect offices and

their families because as we've seen some people don't hesitate to identify officers wives children their addresses and this is a big problem but we want to avoid. the bottles drinking water brand evian has made a splash for all the wrong reasons it's being accused of islamophobia over tweeting courage in people to drink more water. has details do you really mean this is perhaps nothing more than. something to quench your thirst when you're around every in this found itself in very hot water here being accused of everything is a lot of phobia to being a victim of intellectual terrorism and it all started with the treatment seems innocent enough rowing to retreat if you handle liter of water i don't necessarily even say water i mean you're supposed to drink 2 metres a day but new this reminder of

a staple for human life was put on the 1st day of ramadan a festival with muslims for. the king during daylight hours the reaction king and forced. i have to explain to my mother how it is normal for everyone to tweet about water even during ramadan because she thinks they are islamophobia. you know it's ramadan you're abusing it he issued an apology to coors in the offense and said that the kanimozhi but that any saw it in sinking even deeper into controversy . i would never buy every ad again inadmissible to apologize it's basically a cool health message and yet you have to apologize if in 2021 ask you who drinks water since provoke it if you should have a consultation everyone brander talks for advertising water on ramadan day for some islamists muslim festival should be imposed on everyone well no let's stop

this madness soon was a means to eat. through here in paris people were the best food boy that allegation. for me no i saw the controversy i saw the to eat frankly i think it could be quincy adams in my opinion there was no bad intention and they deleted the tweet to avoid necessary control the city but not at all because they felt guilty. for me it's not a slam a phobic i don't understand it like that for me would denigrate a strong want to say look at her she still veiled for me that islamophobia. him or madonna when i'm doing my ramadan i know west starts in the morning and it goes on until the evening i don't eat and i don't drink it has nothing to do with business or anyone else if someone tweets like this i don't care what many muslims also took to twitter to say that they didn't think that tweet by everyone was is along with

food basic leading so to question the way that any muslim had indeed been left in still to employ evian or if somehow this whole story was the result of even. the playing it rather see so much even ski r.t. paris. global tourism crippled by the pandemic is scrambling for ways to get trouble started again some agencies are hoping to turn a crisis into an opportunity though by offering vaccine vacations with russia among the most popular destinations. today we have around 80 people in moscow who if they want to can be vaccinated tomorrow and fly back on sunday we expect now every week the same quantity so long as the vaccines in germany is scarce.

and i added i have no fears because it's a recommended vaccination from the w.h.o. but he has a good international reputation so from that i have no concerns. with a. top notch british bookmaker paul i'm going to i wanted to receive the vaccine myself quicker than we would get it enjoyment and for the 19 year old i would receive it are to late and my father is an interesting patient isn't boddam doing it or he might actually lead a war because i want to protect my family and i don't want to remember the clarus home body i think i would probably get my turn at the end of the year and i don't want to wait that long and i had other options such as serbia and israel to iraq and the united states but all fell away for various reasons and not all this was

the best offer. so you spacecraft with 3 crew members on board has touched down back on earth after 6 months in orbit at the international space station the expedition consists of the 2 russians and american you can see nothing kate's rubin's being held out of the capsule and once they had their medicals she and cosmonauts isikoff and sergei. expected to fly back home they were placed. by special mission the blasted office on of the 60th anniversary celebrations of the 1st human spaceflight to the stars getting ever more congested seeing the r.s.s. will also agree to a new crew on a space x. crew dragon spacecraft crewmembers being raised. job on simple stories package has garnered relatively little public support part of the

problem seems to be the not everyone sure what the plans about will to get closer the cap to the brain. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

tyson nation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. a recent e.u. parliamentary session got rather hated when a member was accused of spreading fake news after he questioned the transparency of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons by you we do not heed cause from it when our own international figures to meet with all the investigators

are you going to investigate all aspects in a transparent manner clickable seen what. i'll begin by saying what i feel i have to say after what i have just heard there is no peace with fake news and i would like to apologize to the director general of the a p c w for what he has just heard i cannot accept that you can call into question the work of an international organization is there no freedom of speech being allowed in the european parliament any more we never know you don't have the floor i missed it what is the subcommittee should to keep it on we go reaction to that incident from the m.p. at the receiving end of the fake news charge wallace says that it was a convenient way of trying to silence him. use is a very popular term. in europe and the us. and they use it is almost like it i go back and i decided as well i said the president said

i think. we should be together because star wars 2 well she's dead right used to start wars when did they just do but took place. it was used at the time by the us france and relocate to illegally parked syria so that a state rules causing war and what the best like they say it was a quarter to read a science or a script or started by night is peace can be started by troops we want the troops and we want peace. you know p.c. w.'s been looking into allegations of chemical weapons use in syria's civil war and accuse president bashar al assad of deploying toxins against his own people on several occasions something syria denies one of the most prominent cases of which multiple doubts about raced was in 2018 in doing the.

panel of experts convened in 2919 rejected that the chlorine cylinders used to deliver the toxic gas in duma had been dropped from the air and on this been a key argument in laying the blame for the attack on the syrian army based on whistleblower data the panel decided that the o.p.c. did we report on the duma attack relied on false premises and deliberately mass arch to yield a biased conclusion. while this again thinks if the o.p.c. w. had nothing to hide it wouldn't have turned a blind eye to the whistleblowers revelations about the duma file. your p.c. don't them can be a viking international organization that can help the demise

of to use chemical weapons or o.p.c. don't do has to present better and right now it looks like to do the right the director general of the l.c. job little or no notice it looks like at least to a lot of western there is a if earned under our ears there's nothing to hide and if de hadn't been here well and they have hankins this whole episode well they have nothing to fear nor are those ation who has nothing to hide and is sure that they are telling the truth would be afraid to have an investigation and if they refused to have a transparent investigation into this whole matter it actually exercise started get. google misled he's in australia about collecting the personal location data that's the ruling that's come from the countries federal court and it could learn the tech giant with a huge fine australia is fair trade watchdog which had far the lawsuit declared the

ruling a world 1st and said it sends a very clear message to all digital platforms what the court found was that google misled consumers into thinking that if they turned off location history then that would stop google storing and keeping collecting and keeping their personally identifiable location data when in fact that was not the case. the judge in the case ruled that some new users were misled in the initial set up process of android devices users weren't informed that even if they had the location history button disabled activating another tab called web an activity would mean google could still collate their location data and it's not the 1st time the australian competition regulator and the tech behemoths clashed last year google and facebook were obliged to pay news organizations if their content was posted on the platforms or google said that it rejects the latest ruling on location data stating the

claims by the watchdog are too broad and that the judge's findings only concerned a narrow class of user the company said it is considering an appeal internet law expert social media solicitor cohen assess the impact of the ruling. google doesn't care the company's far too big for too monopolistic google doesn't care about reputation because there is no real competition out there google also doesn't care about a small a relatively small financial penalty because it's got plenty of money so the only way we can have google starting to care about those sort of things is by either forcing the company to break up and start creating some real competition or and imposing huge penalties the realities that now they got caught again the australian court found them guilty

of effectively cheating on their own customers. the question is what's going to happen next the question is whether google is likely to be detailed by days finding. joe biden's unveiled a new infrastructure package that's left a lot of people confused him part because it's a mixed bag containing all sorts of measures that seem to have little to do with infrastructure for example jobs and environmental issues around a 3rd of americans support the bill and take it all his and his caliber open. joe biden's infrastructure plan is getting a fair amount of criticism polls show the country is pretty divided when it comes to the plan itself but overwhelmingly americans do agree that infrastructure should be a priority joe biden is selling the plan as a jobs creator then american jobs plan is an investment in america that will create

millions of good jobs rebuild our country's infrastructure and position the united states to compete china public domestic investment as a share of the economy has fallen by more than 40 percent since the 1960 s. then merican jobs plan will invest in america in a way we have not invested since we built the interstate highways and won the space race. a plan to get america moving again and get those cast aside by the pandemic back into the workplace has certainly got america talking with the word infrastructure very much on everyone's lips a sweeping new infrastructure plan to rebuild roads and bridges across this country biden vowed infrastructure investments could create 5000000 new jobs and bring back the pandemic jobs lost president biden in pits her yesterday promising to create jobs in 5 climate change with a sweeping 2 trillion dollars infrastructure plan infrastructure means roads bridges highways it cetera however there seem to be some other items thrown in

there too such as health care and benefits for business now democrats are not exactly clarifying the confusion paid leave is infrastructure childcare is infrastructure ok given is infrastructure supreme court expansion is infrastructure are you feeling confused well you're not alone many are starting to wonder if this is just a democratic party spending bill with all kinds of items thrown in as they are now considered to be infrastructure democrats infrastructure proposal goes way beyond what's working americans would call infrastructure it tries to use a bipartisan issue is the children holes for tax hikes miscellaneous liberal policies we need to tackle infrastructure in a more targeted way so what exactly is infrastructure 2 trillion dollars after all is quite a bit of money $1.00 thing is pretty clear while americans don't care much for red tape and bureaucracy they do want better roads and bridges kaleb mopp and artsy new york ok today but don't forget you can check out plenty more news stories that we
